16th September….

As you can see by the date of this post I have had a couple of weeks away from my workshop and any blogging. I think I needed it, but also I think time has flown once again and I am in demand to do some pieces for two galleries and a commission for a customer. So back to work and stop grumbling!!! I gave my workshop a partial spring clean which always gives me the kick up the behind needed to start work on new projects as its all spick & span. But I’ve only done half and a good sweep & dust so all is good. As you can see by the photos I’m doing boats on wood and also some little boat people as they are popular in Busselton because they are small and easily able to travel home with you. I’ve done all the actual vessels and chosen the wood for the bases which is always good fun and Ive made a list of all the further things to do. Im going to do a couple of markets hopefully, one before Christmas and a few in the new year so I need to change tack of my usual art pieces as markets like small, easily carried and packed things!!! So the next few weeks should be fun as Im going to do decorative wall tiles, magnets, mobiles, some jewellery and local greeting cards. I’m not giving away to much at the moment as I havnt started the smaller pieces yet, but I used to do lots of markets a few years back and really enjoyed them and the interaction & feedback from customers. So I will keep you posted…
